X'mas in Europe- Flooding there too!

My husband and I did a driving tour of England in December, visiting all my relatives. There was a surprising amount of flooding going on there too and it was quite mild, temperature wise, for winter time. These are photos of the beautiful lake district, near my aunt's house.
Has anyone seen that Al Gore film, "An Inconvenient Truth" ? It makes you think. We have to act fast if we want to reverse the climate change and prevent more worldwide flooding. What happened here in Malaysia was a disaster but during my month in Europe, I realised this is really a world wide phenomena that we need to confront now.
